🌾 Rumors vs. Facts

Clearing the air. Setting the record straight.

Truth matters. Let’s walk through it together.
 

💬 Rumor: "Laura supported Eden Crossing."

🟣 Fact: Laura clearly stated on the public record she did not support Eden Crossing.
She supported the General Plan, which she helped write and sign as Chair of the Planning Commission.

👩‍⚖️ Her responsibility is to the law and to equal protection for everyone, not just the loudest voice in the room.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura is pro-development."

🟣 Fact: Laura supports lawful, intentional planning that protects our rural heritage.
She advocates for withholding tools like:
📌 Form-Based Code
📌 Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs)
📌 DRR-1 Zone (Destination Recreation and Resort)
until the community clearly defines what kind of growth we want and where we want it.
🌄 Growth must honor our rural values, not threaten them.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura opposed incorporation and now wants to sabotage the city."

🟣 Fact: Laura did not support incorporation under flawed assumptions.

She’s working to ensure city income is spent wisely by identifying alternate revenue streams outside of citizen
💡 with special attention to retirees and those on fixed incomes
💡 so no one is pushed out of the Valley they love.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura supports developers because she knows them."

🟣 Fact: Knowing people is not a liability, it’s a strength.
Laura’s relationships have helped pass meaningful legislation and influence statewide change.
She is not tied to developers and has no financial interests in development.
She is tied to service. And that’s something to be proud of.

​

​💬 Rumor: "Laura is tied to development through her husband."

🟣 Fact: Her husband flipped a few homes many years ago.
They owned rentals over two decades ago.
🛑 Neither Laura nor her husband are involved in development today.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura plays favorites."

🟣 Fact: Laura stands on principle, not popularity.
She applies the law equally and fairly.
She believes in transparency, accountability, and decisions rooted in fact, not feeling.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura is too busy to serve on the council."

🟣 Fact: Laura’s day starts at 4:30 a.m.
She runs a business, leads a nonprofit, and advocates at the state level.
She gets things done and manages her time with precision.
Busy is not the problem. Ineffective is. And Laura is not that.

​

💬 Rumor: "Laura doesn't play well with others."

🟣 Fact: This one might be our favorite.
👀 Laura has:
✔️ Helped pass dozens of laws with bipartisan support
✔️ Served on statewide committees and mental health reform boards
✔️ Built working relationships with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike
✔️ Led statewide suicide prevention efforts with legislative, academic, and parent coalitions
🎭 If that’s not playing well with others, someone should check the rulebook.

​

💬 Rumor: "The lawsuits against the County are no big deal."

🟣 Fact: These lawsuits put our budget and our city’s future at serious risk.
❗ Some candidates currently running for office are named plaintiffs in these lawsuits.
❗ That means they are actively suing the same County they now want to collaborate with.
This lawsuit will cost your tax dollars, reduce County resources that should come to our new city, and waste time and goodwill that could be spent solving real issues.
Laura is not part of these lawsuits.
She believes lawsuits should be a last resort.
🤝 Collaboration and understanding the law would have avoided this reckless move.
She’s ready to work with others. Not fight them.
